Main Idea
Do you have balance in your life? Are you working too much? What would your spouse or kids say to this question? Or is this a problem for someone who works for you? Can you improve your business and at the same time get better balance in your life? What are you doing that you should not be doing?
Expansion of Idea
Sometimes the lack of balance is a big red flag that things aren’t working right. It is easy to see in others, such as our kids or family members. However, it is a lot harder to see this in ourselves. When we do not have balance, mistakes happen and we don’t spend as much time planning the future. Busyness creates problems and masks the truly important things that we should be doing.
